United States Patent | 6,216,080 |
Riedemann ,   et al. | April 10, 2001 |
A wheel module for the control of the braking force on a wheel of a vehicle with an electrically controlled braking system (EBS), in which the need for data transfer to other wheel modules, or to a central module, if present, is reduced considerably. All magnitudes required for an ABS regulation of a wheel such as, for example, vehicle reference speed, are calculated directly in the wheel module according to the invention, so that these magnitudes need not be transmitted from a central module via a data bus.
